AceSearch Pro
I had the basic version for a month and decided to buy the pro version for the filters as I wanted the front of site search to be filtered for the Category process only.

I found that spending £25.49 was a complete waste of time and wish I had not bothered buying the upgrade to Pro as I still am unable to filter the aspects of the site that I wanted too. real shame, very big let down.

J Clock
I really like this plugin, it has great potential. The Plugin works and loads first time, but it is only when you look at the Documentation that you start to see a few issues. In the documentation it clearly shows that you can have other clock styles, but none of them work..... this is a real shame as the Plugin is perfect for Joomla 1.7

It would be nice to see this resolved before I can add it to other sites. Also you are unable to change the size of the clock and the colours which is also strange.

Other than that, it is nice.

Maps
This is a really great Component and deserves an award. I'm happy to give this developer some credit as he//she deserves it.

I stumbled across this whilst looking for a different map Com, Mod or plugin and used yours instead. It is also a big bonus not having to go search for the API key process which saves time and future updating.

Thank You

JoomTiger
We are using the Tiger CRM for our business and we have found it to be fantastic. We had used a few other ones with different bridges and they were poor in comparision.

I especially like the Marketing Campaigns, Contacts, Webmail, Calendar and Documents as this allows us to target our potential clients and new customers with E-Shots and other media.

The settings tab is simple to use for anyone from beginner to expert. I take my hat off to the developers of this CRM as it is invaluable for business.

The Support process on the CRM allows you to fine tune every aspect of the program - from Trouble Tickets to FAQ and over to Milestones. We changed trouble tickets to "Raise a Ticket" and found the whole process very easy.

The Analytics is very simple, nothing special, but it does the job of keeping tabs on what you are doing through the day by giving you a dashboard everytime you login.

Thank you.

Modules Anywhere
After looking at all the other testimonials from various different people you can see why they are five star.

SUPERB WORK GUYS.

This now saves a huge amount of time trying to place a module into a position where you do and don't want it.

Thank you.

Cache Cleaner
Does exactly what it says on the tin. I love it and adore it, nearly as much as my wife. OK,maybe went a bit far there. The plugin works like a dream, is just what the DR. ordered and you guys need to clear your cache schedule and go have a virtual BEER. Donation on route.

thank you

K2
Recommendation of the K2 Component, Modules and Plugins is amazing and it is FREE.

Unbelievable!! It is the most comprehensive bundle out there and you should be clicking the Download button without even thinking too much about it.

You will NOT regret it… I’m lost for words which is hard for me!

You install it to J1.7 and off you go, you make an article form and once you have the basics, you go to tagging which normally you have to remember all the keywords in your website yourself, but no it does it for you. It is a no brainer.

The ratings and review process is also a godsend and thanks to you it is perfect.

One small bug to me though, is the process of not being able to copy and paste from articles in word or wherever to inside the K2 article process which is really annoying, but other than that it is perfection.

Thank You guys.

Live Support Chat
I write a lot of reviews for Joomla and some are not always very positive as the modules, components or plugins are out of date or unfit for healthy website use and you sometimes wonder how they got given the go-ahead, but this has changed that........

The support page on their website when I clicked with an issue said 48 hours wait, and I was thinking, another basic website window on a thurday afternoon means I wont get support till gone Monday, but then something amazing happened. 8 minutes later, yes I counted every minute as I am a sad web developer.. LOL and there was Chris on Teamviewer with all the answers. WOW... FANTASTIC SUPPORT.

WELL DONE TO ALL AT LIVE SUPPORT CHAT - YOU DO US PROUD.

THANK YOU

Fox Contact Form
Hey guys, Just wanted to give you the nod of approval.I use this on every website that I develop, it is superb and is worth downloading and installing as a new Menu item, it could not be easier. You guys are the best.

Weever Apps

Chess Puzzle of the Day
This is Brilliant. I thought as soon as I loaded it there would be issues, as there normally are.. but then it worked and I was like!!! CHECKMATE.

Really great work has been done here. I don't always have time to play a full game and 20mins of brain churning instead is perfect for my busy schedule. You should give yourself a pat of the back. It's the best Module for a Board game ever!

Thank you. I have loaded it into two sites already and I know I will use it daily. NICE WORK.

Works Perfectly in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera
Owner's reply

I'm glad you like it, and thank you for the nice review, however, in the interests of only giving credit where it is due, I feel I must point out that I did not write the actual puzzles themselves nor the engine that displays the chess board and allows the puzzle to be played out. All I did was wrap up the 3rd party services (from Shredder, Gameknot, and ChessGames.com) in a Joomla module, with some parameters to control what gets shown. Still, I think it is useful to have, especially if, like me, you run a website for a chess club!

Sudoku
Overall this is a really great Module. I have loaded it on to a few sites built then had to remove it which is a real shame. If you can tweak the coding I would happily make a donation as well.

The other comments are spot on. The error coding in red does not show in Chrome and Firefox very well.

Changes you should make: My penny's worth.

1. Do not have 450px as the minimum size, some sites have special custom templates and 450 is huge. start it at 200 and allow people to choose.

2. The orange border is really not very nice if you website is black, red, blue etc. Allow people to choose the border colours.

3. The ingame colour Green should have some other primary colour choices, red, blue etc.

Overall, I really like it, but as I am not colour blind. I can't use it, but great work! WORKS A++

RSGallery2
wow, what can I say about this Component other than 1 million thank you's. I tried several before this and I wish I had tried yours first, it would of saved a lot of time. Wonderful Component. Works first time on install, no glitches, issues, nothing.

Nothing short of Perfection. Donation on route!

Art Text Rotator
I think this is a really fantastic and simple module and free. Always a bonus. As some ideas to enhance this Module. Could you think about adding the following elements.

1. Remove the underscore on the text, it is very annoying and could look much nicer without it.

2. Allow people to have different colours.
Black is fine, but if people had the ability to change black to blue, red, purple, orange etc, it would be a much nicer user experience.

3. Would be great if you could give people the option to have more than one line of links, at the moment they all link to the same place. How about adding an option to have them listed.

Just ideas, thanks for a super extension, great work and thank you,

Zh GoogleMap
Worked first time with no issues. If you are looking at GOOGLE map and thinking.... OK, so a few people have given it 5 stars is it worth the hassle to download it? well, yes it is! SUPERB. THANK YOU.

I will be donating to your continued success.

BT Slideshow
I have been looking for something like his for awhile now and I thought this was it, it does install first time and even allows you to set up image and descriptions on load, which is a real bonus, but this is the only good news.

The mod needs some real work done. The slideshow does not load on custom templates, only on the standard joomla template which is a shame.

I have added this here as I do not have time to go and register on a forum and wait days for a reply.

wish there was more to say... but not very good.

Ignite Gallery
I have installed and paid for a lot of slideshows since the early days of Mambo through to Joomla 1.7 and I can put my hand on my heart and say... THANK YOU for making a component that has the end user in mind. It is difficult to find a Component that works straight off without any issues whatsoever.

I am impressed... well worth the £26.71.
